>she was well within her rights to publish it
That's the funny thing, she wasn't. First, there is the issue of relevancy, just because it happened at the protest doesn't mean it's relevant to the protest itself. Two people kissing is completely irrelevant to the topic of the article. Two, privacy concerns. Despite what people think, you do actually have some privacy protections in public spaces. Tying into the first point, despite being in a public space Dorothy and Joyce kissing is not a matter of legitimate concern, the publishing the photograph is an unwanted disclosure of their private lives, and doing so has harmed or disrupted their lives. Third, there is the journalistic ethics issue. Dorothy is an employee of the newspaper which is a massive conflict of interest on their part and the headline, photograph, and context given are blatant sensationalism.
Real world, the photo would never get published by anyone wanting even a veneer of legitimacy, and if the school newspaper did publish it Daisy would be looking at, in all likelihood, a "quit or get fired" ultimatum from the school, the article getting pulled from archives, and lawyers coming into play from Dorothy, Joyce, and the school. And if we're being real, Dorothy and Joyce would probably getting a bunch of threats and some physical intimidation instead of bitchy comments from two people.
